Three more names have been added to Clemson's official visit list for this weekend. DB Ryan Carter of Grayson, GA tweeted early this afternoon that he was making the trip and he arrived on campus around 5:00 PM. Carter unwittingly became a center of controversy when his prized teammate DE Robert Nkemdiche, who was committed to Clemson at the time, was quoted as saying he wanted Clemson to offer Carter and implied that would help the Tigers' chances with him. Nkemdiche has since decommitted and appears headed to Ole Miss. Clemson still hasn't offered Carter but wants to take another look at him this weekend. Carter has visited Clemson unofficially in the past. He has offers from Ole Miss, East Carolina and some smaller programs.

DB TJ Green (6-2 189) of Sylacauga, AL also reported via Twiitter today that he is taking an official visit to Clemson this weekend. Green has been committed to UAB but picked up an offer from Clemson last week. Green also tweeted today he received an offer from Auburn. He's also considering Cincinnati and California. He visited Cincinnati last weekend.

Also making an official visit to Clemson this weekend is TE Zach Riggs of JL Mann. The North-South All Star is the son of former Clemson and NFL tight end Jim Riggs. Clemson has talked with him about a grayshirt opportunity. He's also been hearing from Furman and Elon.
